Top SchoolCatherine Kim is a coral reef ecologist and postdoctoral researcher with eight years’ experience blending international fieldwork, spatial modelling, and science communication to support reef conservation and restoration. Based in Queensland, she leads decision-science work in the Reef Restoration and Adaptation Program and develops FloodReady tools to help Brisbane residents prepare for flooding, demonstrating a rare mix of marine ecology and applied geospatial decision support. Her PhD work with the XL Catlin Seaview Survey combined in situ surveys and machine learning to map coral rubble across the Great Barrier Reef, and she has hands-on experience managing grants, logistics, and permitting for complex field campaigns worldwide.
